To Still the Ache The music was curved and golden and it felt like art, the kind you have to touch before you understand it. I would sing about it along the river of each wandering, and then one year I woke and found my voice was a word and it echoed my feelings, vibrated in the core of my learning and opened doors. Inside one door was love and it was like art that you have to touch, my skin was alive with it, like bees flying around a purpose, oh, I wanted to sip nectar. Then, when I found the perfect flower and whirling to airborne sought to capture it, drink it dry again and again, I couldn’t fly and was sick from all that honey. Next time I was a flute of perfect sweet pitched call, waiting, waiting in the big day with my sound reaching to cross the chasm and for the lack of listening ear, falling. So how could I still this ache to express that wanted, wanted listening? I thought that life would just stand still and wait while I did my search, checked all the pockets around me, sniffed the air for curly clues, and so you see I ended up in the back room stacked against the wall of doubtful. Now, I listen to the harp because it pleases me to see all those little notes fall around me and bounce, and if you understand why, I’m pleased, but mostly, I just like to hear the sound. _______ from 1-2001 |

  (smiles) Oh my gosh, your heart hums a symphony of hope, sweet friend, each emotion has a sound I believe, and with the melodies we harken upon, we can always find the notes we need to carry on and embrace each day with faith and love! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, this is a true classic! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shin eupon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

*sigh* all the notes your heart writes are clear and perfectly tuned to bring a sigh to my lips as I hear the talent of your words playing to my ear. BRAVO!!! I love it. **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
